Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of inserting a rigid plastic lining tube through pipes, and more particularly to a method of inserting a rigid plastic tube through a pipe to line the pipe with the rigid plastic tube.
  • the pipe lining work differs with the type of pipe, the work is performed for a length of pipe which is usually about 10 to about 100 m as single span.
  • the rigid plastic tube serving as the lining material has a considerably large length longer than one span of pipe, so that the tube can be transported to the work site conveniently when it is wound on a drum.
  • the rigid plastic tube can be wound on the drum when collapsed radially thereof from the form having a circular cross section to a flat form and made flexible by being softened with heating.
  • the plastic tube When inserted into the pipe, the plastic tube gradually releases heat, becomes rigid again and substantially loses flexibility, so that another problem arises in that the tube can not be passed through an intermediate bend or like portion of the pipe.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method of smoothly and efficiently inserting a rigid plastic tube through a pipe by heating and softening the tube uniformly over the entire length thereof as wound on a drum and paying out the tube from the drum.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method of inserting a rigid plastic tube through a pipe while holding the tube softened by heating until the tube has been completely inserted through the pipe so that the tube can be easily passed through an intermediate bend of the pipe.
  • the present invention provides a method of inserting a rigid plastic tube through a pipe while paying out the tube from a drum having the tube wound thereon in a flat form, the method being characterized by supplying a heating fluid into the plastic tube to pass the fluid from its one end toward the other end thereof and thereby heat and soften the plastic tube over the entire inner peripheral surface of the tube.
  • the rigid plastic tube wound on a drum is heated with a heating fluid over the entire inner peripheral surface thereof, is therefore uniformly softened at every portion over its entire length and can consequently be paid out from the drum and inserted through the pipe smoothly and efficiently.
  • the heating fluid is supplied into the rigid plastic tube from its one end toward the other end thereof, the fluid can be so supplied continuously also during the insertion of the tube through the pipe, thereby holding the plastic tube softened with good stability properly until the tube is completely inserted through the pipe. Accordingly, the plastic tube can be easily passed through an intermediate bent pipe portion, if any.
  • the heating fluid may be supplied to the interior of the plastic tube through a perforated hose inserted through the tube over the entire length thereof in advance.
  • the perforated hose functions to distribute the heating fluid uniformly to every portion of the tube over the entire length thereof when supplying the fluid and is therefore useful especially when the plastic tube has a relatively large length.
  • the rigid plastic tube may be heated with the heating fluid also from outside thereof in addition to the heating with the fluid from inside. Heating the tube with the fluid from both inside and outside is useful especially when the tube has a relatively large wall thickness.
  • the rigid plastic tube to be inserted by the method of the invention is one made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene or polyropylene, which has a softening point of up to 100° C. and which can be softened by heating with the heating fluid.
  • the rigid plastic tube is circular in cross section, has an outside diameter corresponding to about 50 to 90% of the inside diameter of the pipe, and is collapsed radially thereof to a flat tubular form when wound onto a drum.
  • the fluid for heating and softening the rigid plastic tube is most suitably steam because of its great heat capacity but can alternatively be heated air, heated water or the like.
  • the heating fluid may be supplied to the plastic tube from the tube end at the innermost layer of the tube winding on the drum toward the other tube end at the outermost layer thereof, or in the reverse direction.
  • the drum is installed either in a vertical position or in a horizontal position.
  • the horizontal position is more favorable than the vertical position when steam is used as the heating fluid because the steam channel through the plastic tube continuously extends spirally in a plane and is free of the likelihood of the drain blocking the channel and further because the plastic tube as softened by heating is prevented from hanging down by the drum side plate.

  • steam is used as the heat source for the heater 6.
  • the work rolls 7 can be provided with a heater (not shown) for maintaining the rolls 7 at a predetermined temperature.
  • the forward tube end 1a to be positioned at the innermost layer of the winding to be formed is inserted into a hollow spool 2a at the center of the drum 2 and connected to one end of a steam supply pipe 8 inserted in and fixed to the spool 2a.
  • the steam supply pipe 8 has at the other end thereof a swivel joint 8a, at which the supply pipe 8 is suitably connectable to a steam supply source such as a boiler 10 via a steam conduit 9.

  • the plastic tube 1 connected to the rope 13 can be inserted into the pipe a by operating a winch 15 and thereby winding up the rope 13 as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the supply of steam into the tube 1 is continued during the insertion of the tube 1 into the pipe a, whereby the tube 1 is held softened also during the insertion and can be easily passed through an intermediate bent pipe portion, if any (not shown).
  • the rigid plastic tube 1 inserted through the pipe a is subjected to heat and pressure from inside in the usual manner and thereby inflated radially thereof.
  • FIGS. 2 and 2A show a case wherein steam is supplied into the rigid plastic tube 1 from the outermost tube end 1b toward the innermost tube end 1a unlike the case shown in FIGS. 1 and 1A.

  • one end of the hose 16 instead of the innermost end 1a of the tube 1, is connected to the steam supply pipe 8.
  • the rigid plastic tube 1 to be used has a relatively large wall thickness, for example, of about 3 to about 10 mm in order to form a lining of increased wall thickness

  • FIG. 8 shows another mode of practicing the method of the invention, in which a drum is installed in a horizontal position.
  • a steam supply member 23 is attached to the tube 21 when the tube is to be wound on the drum 22.
  • the supply member 23 comprises a mouthpiece 23a attached to the tube end 21a at the innermost layer of the winding of tube 21 to be formed, another mouthpiece 23b fixed to the outer side of a drum side plate 22a with a fastener 24, and a heat-resistant rubber hose 23c interconnecting the two mouth-pieces 23a, 23b.
